Instructions
Making Creamy Mushroom Tortellini Alfredo is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the tortellini according to package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Mushrooms: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are soft and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
5. Combine Tortellini and Sauce: Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet, gently tossing it in the creamy mushroom sauce until well coated.
6. Season: Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
7. Serve Hot: Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
